#75 - When Work Fails Mothers: From Medical Crisis to Finding My Voice - Alex Morgan
Description
Don't worry, Tiffany didn't abandon ship! She is on holiday!
So this week it's just Alex flying solo sharing her deeply personal story that she's never told in full before.
After her 20-week scan changed everything, she went from workplace high-performer to navigating a medical crisis in pregnancy, a newborn with a rare lung condition, and a workplace that had no idea how to support her through any of it.
In this episode she opens up about her son's Ted's health journey from foetal diagnosis to lung surgery at 12 months, why it took years to realise she wasn't the problem, and how she finally found her voice as a mother and professional.
This episode tackles what happens when workplaces fail mothers during their most vulnerable moments and why we need to stop accepting that having a baby is treated as a personal inconvenience to employers.
If you've ever felt unsupported by your workplace during motherhood, this honest conversation about the motherhood penalty and finding your voice will resonate.
